Rebel Commentator

Holly Nicholas is a contributor for TheRebel.media from Calgary, AB. She is a vocal advocate of the oil and gas industry and is especially interested in science and technology, economic issues and oil and gas related topics like pipeline infrastructure and investments. Holly is also a lover of freedom and believes in personal responsibility - these beliefs are what inspire her to speak out on conservative issues across the spectrum. When she’s not battling the thought police on Twitter, she’s listing all the reasons why the aliens won’t visit us, preparing for the apocalypse, or listening to her collection of rock n’ roll records.

As governments across the West increasingly view the internet as a public utility, the push to regulate it grows, but could this just be a Big Brother strategy that furthers a political agenda to control what we can see on the web?

In 2010, Calgary elected the first Muslim mayor in Canada with Naheed Nenshi winning the race with 39 per cent of the vote. He was subsequently re-elected with 74 per cent, yet in a video circulating on social media last week, Nenshi played the race card.

TransCanada declined to elaborate on their reasons for pulling the plug on Energy East, but they didn’t need to. The federal government has axed almost every major oil and gas project it had a hand in, costing the Canadian economy billions.

The federal government’s primary job is to protect its people, but judging by the skyrocketing number of asylum claims coming from Mexican nationals entering our country, that doesn't seem to be a priority for the Liberals.
